Fort Worth

Pros: If you have to be stranded at an airport, DFW offers some diversions...
Cons: Stranded at any airport is still stranded...and not a preferred place to be...

Unfortunately, if you travel for a living, the dreaded words "weather delay" will invade your life more frequently than you would prefer... especially in the spring thunderstorm season.

And my bet would be that sooner or later you'll find...

Pros: Cowboys, country music, and steaks as big as your hat
Cons: Cowboys, country music, and steaks as big as your hat

If you can only do one thing in Fort Worth, visit the Stockyards. This is the place that gives Fort Worth its derisive nickname of "Cow Town" and this is the place that tries to capture a little bit of the western flavor of the Texas...

Pros: Tender, lime-marinated chunks of chicken and spicy salsa
Cons: Cash only

Some restaurants are ritzy, some are casual. Some are authentic, most are poseurs. Joe T. Garcia's is definitely authentic and definitely casual.

Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I've been to a restaurant so...

Pros: Great collection of European masters -- FREE admission
Cons: Special exhibits are somewhat pricey

Given the brutal heat in Fort Worth over the past week (it was 106 degrees last Friday), I was delirious for indoor activities. Museums are always air-conditioned, so the temperate oasis of art seemed like the promised land to us. We headed over to the...

Pros: Great museums. Nice people. Great tourist traps if you like tourist traps.
Cons: The usual sprawl and neglect of the inner-city. Climate is an acquired taste.

In the brand-new Museum of Modern Art of Fort Worth, a full-size, realist sculpture of an Etruscan man stands, hand outstretched in an uncertain gesture, directly in front of a mirror. The mirror is full length, perhaps three inches from his fingertips....

Pros: Wonderful trip, one of a kind opportunity
Cons: IT WAS HOT!!!!!!!!

If you visit The Dallas Ft. Worth area of Texas your trip will not be complete unless you take a trip on the TARANTULA! There are SO many things to do and see in Metro Area of Dallas that many forget about all the hidden pleasures of the outlying...

Cons: needs more local interest

The 3rd Annual Fort Worth Film Festival took place October 19-22, 2000, in downtown Fort Worth, Texas.

I learned LAUGHING BOY had been accepted to the Fort Worth Film Festival...

Pros: Friendly folks; lots to do; fantastic part of the world
Cons: Hot; too much bad country music; blasted Dallas Cowboys

I'm one of the few proud Arkansans in the world. Sure, plenty of folks live here in Arkansas, but not a whole lot will brag about it. While I love my state, I've got to admit that my second favorite place in the world is Texas, and that's largely due to...

Pros: great food, friendly service, clean place to eat
Cons: You might gain a bit of weight if you eat there to much

Any body that has lived in Fort Worth for a while has either heard about Tommy's Hamburger joint or has taken their family there to eat. If they haven't heard of it then they are missing out on one of the best Hamburger places I have been to date....

Pros: much to see - historic and culture
Cons: summer heat so come in the Spring or Fall

Fort Worth, Texas is the "capital city of West Texas". Its population is about a half-million and its nickname is "Cowtown" because of its past history of cattle drivers that came through Fort Worth. Fort Worth shares the world's...

Pros: Atmosphere is all country.
Cons: Hot!

Yee-haw!
I recently kicked up my heels in Fort Worth, Texas. When you visit Texas, something strange happens to you. You search every tourist shop for the perfect cowboy hat, you get up on stage at the local karaoke bar to sing...

Pros: very quaint and kept up
Cons: the heat of summer...

I am a native Texan and have lived in Houston for the last 46 years but in my very near future (hopefully) I will be moving to Fort Worth once I am married. My fiance was transferred there three weeks ago and last weekend for the fourth of July I helped...

Pros: Diversity, Art, Great Zoo, Friendly people
Cons: Not enough credit

I live in Fort Worth and although I make frequent trips to Dallas, I'm glad to call Fort Worth my home. The differences in the two cities are amazing. Dallas has culture and art, but Fort Worth has the Bass Performance Hall and three large art museums....

Pros: Free, Beautiful
Cons: none

Since moving to Dallas a few months ago, my family and I are traveling the DFW area for new and exciting areas of interest. Our main objective is to find all the free spots we can where the whole family can have a good time. In these days and times,...

Pros: fond memories
Cons: Lowboy

I read daily about events at the Stock Show in Fort Worth and I'm reminded of years gone by and a childhood dream of being in the parade that didn't quite come off as planned.
